The Kirbyville/Pine Grove tornado was the third tornado from Supercell B and
impacted areas just west of Kirbyville to the south of Newton. This tornado
caused mainly tree and minor building damage as it crossed FM 1013 west of

Newton County, the tornado then caused significant damage to trees and homes in
the Bonami community. Continuing northeastward, the tornado struck the
Pine Grove community of Highway 87. Widespread tree, utility and home
damage occurred in this area. Damage to trees and homes continued before
the tornado dissipated 2 miles south of Newton.
